Abstract
The recent interest in hydrogen liquefaction techniques has instigated the exploration of magnetic refrigeration for cryogenic cooling. This has led to the search of materials which exhibit the magnetocaloric effect in the 20-77 K temperature range. The vast majority of compounds that fit the specifications contain critical rare earth elements. Therefore the challenge is to discover sustainable magnetocaloric materials in the cryogenic temperature range. In the context of this challenging task, a handful of prospective compounds have been identified and critically evaluated. Strategies such as doping, which have the potential to tune magnetocaloric properties have been examined. The areas warranting further research in order to realise magnetic refrigeration have been recognized and addressed.
